Choose, test and move an iPhone's reported location from one clean Apple Maps interface.
Roam Control is an iPhone app for location-based development, quality assurance and responsible personal testing on a device you own and control.
It supports fixed reported locations, Walking, Driving and Cycling routes, Joystick movement, GPX import/export, favourites, history, on-device pairing and guided LocalDevVPN-compatible sessions.
